Portishead to play Top Secret 'Rehearsal' Show in LA

If waiting until Coachella to see Portishead reunite is causing you to grind your teeth with impatience, then maybe you'll be stoked to find out that you can try and win tickets to see them play a private rehearsal for their upcoming and highly anticipated Coachella performance on April 26.
This event will take place somewhere in Los Angeles, on Thursday, April 24. And right now the only way in is to hope your butt can win one of the two sets of tickets that are being given away. You'll know that you didn't win if its April, 21 and you heard nothing about where to go see the awesome show.
I'm begging and pleading, and working every angle i can to weasel my way into this damn show, and it looks like so far I'm going to have to hope I win, just like anyone else. So I bid you good luck, but not that much luck!
